This is all really good advice. Even when I travel, I stay low volume. I just get really worn out talking to 50-60 people to find 2 that meet my criteria. From talking to other ladies who travel often & my own experience... The creepy, weirdo timewasters feel braver targeting travelling ladies. When you're in an unfamiliar city and having use other means to advertise, tracking down refs can be tricky. Id rather be chatting with already screened confirmed appts building up to our time together than filtering through the nonsense. At the same time, I don't want to compromise anyone's security including my own. I wouldnt hire an agency without talking to other providers that used them, but I guess I'm still undecided. I appreciate the above feedback and anyone else who'd like to chime in
